Lonogradian-Iraqi Border

Sami Al Sayid was just assigned to his new post, he was the new commander of an outpost facing east to the Iraqi border, with him was two hundred other soldiers, four T-55 Tanks and two T-72 Tanks and ten BTR-80s which were supplied by the Soviet Union in the early nineteen eighties, most of the Lonogradian Armed Forces still used old cold war tech and weaponry and very outdated by today's standards. The reason there was such a high military build up was because of the war in Iraq, although the American invasion did Benefit Lonograd by ousting Saddam Hussein's extremely hostile and rival Ba'athist government, it did cause some problems, Iraq was plunged into civil war and sectarian violence, with Sunni Islamists supported who were by Saudi Arabia Risya and Bashiryya, a corrupt government backed by Shia Militias who were supported by Iran and Lonograd, Kurdish Militias who were supported by Hatay, were all battling out to control the country. Since the American withdrawal nearly six years ago, Iraq is still not at peace, thousands have been killed and injured and over million people have left the country with hundreds of thousands fleeing to neighbouring Turkey, Iran, Kuwait and Lonograd. However in a few recent years, a new Sunni Islamist Militant group called Jaysh Al Islam, and in the past few months, the group has been attacking outposts, towns and villages near the Lonogradian Border with rocket attacks, Suicide bombings and finally full on military assaults. This caused the government in Riyad to react by sending more troops near the border and to also tighten security so any Jaysh Al Islam militants couldn't cross into Lonograd and try to convince the majority Sunni population to rise up against the minority lead Shia government.

Sami has just finished his shift guarding the border checkpoint, his job was to check people's IDs and to check their car to see if it was full of explosives or were trying to smuggle weapons. As another soldier went to start his shift, Sami lit up a cigarette, he knew he soon had to stop smoking as it would be harmful to his unborn child who his wife was going to give birth to in just two weeks from now, he asked his superiors if he could have the day off then but he still hasn't got a reply yet. A old rusted car drove to the checkpoint, the man driving it was wearing a kaffiyeh to cover his face and wad wearing sunglasses to cover his eyes, when the checkpoint guard asked him to show his ID, he responded by saying, "Death to the Rafida! Allah Akbar!" He then detonated the car, causing it to explode which killed him, the checkpoint guard and managed to knock Sami to the floor. The explosion caused Sami's eyesight to go dizzy and a ringing sound in his ears, this only happened for a few seconds before it had disappeared, and well before Sami shouted, "We're under attack! Everyone get to your positions now!" The soldiers then rushed to their positions, several jumped in and started up the tanks, others got into and manned machine gun nests. Some got into the BTRs, while the rest took cover behind anything they could find. Then suddenly... twenty trucks carrying five fighters each, some with were fitted with Anti Aircraft guns, Heavy machine guns, and other Anti Tank and Anti Armour weaponry, with them were eighty other fighters marching on foot, armed with AKs, MI6s and RPGs, some of the militants were carrying a black flag, even some of the trucks were fitted with this flag and they all were fluttering in the wind as the jihadists got closer to the checkpoint. Samir shouted to his men, "Enemy approaching! Open fire!", before he fired his AK-47 at the incoming Islamists with the rest of the check point doing the same. This killed thirty jihadists and destroyed five trucks as most of rounds and bullets that were fired at them had missed, the fighters on the trucks fired recoilless rifles which killed twenty soldiers and three BTRs, one fighter used a 9M113 Konkurs Anti-tank missile system to destroy a T-55 tank while another used a TOW Anti Tank Missile launcher on a T-72 which completely turned the tank into a smouldering wreck, meanwhile the fighters who were one foot stormed into the checkpoint and started to get into firefights with the remaining troops there.

Sami was firing his Kalashnikov assault rifle fiercely, killing five jihadists, he then soon realised that the checkpoint would be overran and took over if he didn't call for air support quickly. He got up and ran towards the main HQ which had a radio in it, but before he could reach the complex, he spotted two Jaysh Al Islam fighters heading towards him, he quickly managed to shoot one militant in the chest, killing him instantly while the other shot Samir in the right shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground. The fighter was about to finish Samir off but he had ran out of bullets, so he pulled out a Bowie hunting knife, walked over to Samir, put the knife to Samir and said, "today you die, Shia Kuffar". Samir responded with, "no, today is the day you die!" He then knees the fighter in the stomach and stabs him in the neck several times before getting back up. He then finally gets to the HQ, gets on the radio and says, "This is Border checkpoint Charlie, we are under attack, I repeat we are under attack, send air support imminently". Outside, the fighting was getting ferocious, hand to hand combat was being used, dead bodies and bullet casing were littered across the base. Two Islamist fighters jumped on top of a T-55 tank, opened the hatch and threw in a grenade, they then closed the hatch and shouted "Allah Akbar!" as the tank and its crew were destroyed, however they did not have much time to celebrate as many were killed by Lonogradian snipers on the rooftops.

After thirty minutes of fighting, it looked like the Jaysh Al Islam militants were going to win this battle, however their dreams were dashed as two Mil Mi-24 Hind attack helicopters showed up, imminently they started to fire on the militants, ripping them to shreds, the helicopters also fired rocket at the now fleeing Islamist trucks with dozens of fighters who were also retreating from the battle scene. The soldiers that were still alive went out of their fortifications to celebrate this small victory against Jaysh Al Islam who had won so many before, however when Bashir Aladeen and the rest of the Lonogradian government hears about this, they won't be very happy at the lost of so many men and armour and that there was another attack on a checkpoint even that they promised to stop it from happening, although this would be a blessing in disguise as it would be the excuse for Bashir Aladeen to send the Arab Liberation Front or ALF for short, into Iraq to fight against Jaysh Al Islam and other radical Sunni Islamist Militant groups. Aladeen would hope that with a enough training, supplies and weapons, the Arab Liberation Front would create a puppet government in Baghdad, and when order and peace is returned in Iraq, he would later annex it as a first step to achieve a United Arab Republic based on Nasser's ideals.

Introduction

Through out all history warriors were trying to free themselves from the spiritual control of the clerics in order to reverse the social roles. Such attempts were mostly abortive because warriors were acting inside the priestly matrix, being defined in their strategy by the values of priests. However in the 7th century in the deserts of what is now Saudi Arabia a new paradigm emerged one where the lines of warrior and cleric were becoming more and more dimmer a new faith emerged one that would be spread by the Sword. This new faith had it's own political system and a code of laws that it's warriors lived by, it's warriors were interconnected to the clerics and vice versa, many of the clerics would be warriors themselves, this system was known as Islam, a religion centered around five pillars and spread by a new type of war, known as the jihad. The Prophet of Islam eventually died and his successors began to fight among each-other, in the area now known as Persia clerics known as Ayatollahs would begin to rise and eventually in Saudi Arabia a new puritan movement of devoted warrior clerics would emerge, a new era was brewing an era of Islamic revolution and warfare, the era of Jihad.

In the land that was once the cradle of civilization, the land of Nimrod and Nebuchadnezzar came the Caliphate that would eventually evolve into numerous successor states and with a little British and Jewish help modern day Iraq. Thus the ancient struggle between warrior and cleric was reborn, in the land of Anbar a fire was brewing one that would change history.

The story of Mustafa Hassan

Our story begins with a lone bastard child, whose father was a legendary soldier of fortune, his mother a disgraced prostitute.

The history of Jaysh Al-Islam is a simple one, it originated by a young Iraqi collage student a bastard child of a foreign terrorist mercenary and unknown Iraqi woman, this student would come to America for his education. The collage student was Mustafa Hassan the future terrorist and mercenary's radicalization process began studying at collage and influenced by leftist thought, while studying at the university he would encounter Marxism and Marxist professors, he read the writings of numerous Socialist, Anti-American and Anti-Zionist writers who considered the problems in the Third World to come from American imperialism, capitalism and Zionism, Mustafa would study these words and with encouragement from the Professors gradually become a Marxist.

Mustafa started off as a Marxist but the bland atheism, hedonism, and lack of real identity made him feel a life without purpose, he remembered the religion of his youth, and began to return to the Koran and Sunnah, he would begin to read the works of Sayyid Qutb, Taqi al-Din al-Nabhani as well as many of the great Islamic scholars from various Madhhabs, he would begin to become convinced that Islam needed to return to it's former glory and the great Islamic conquests must be resurrected. He would join the ROTC program getting officer training and eventually the national guard, he would join the US Army before switching over to the Navy where he would rise through the ranks and apply to the Seal teams doing various operations in the South China Sea War, where he would be blowing up Chinese missile sites, his training as a Navy Seal would have profound effects on him.

Satisfied with his skills, the CIA and a wealthy Saudi Prince would ask Mustafa to begin training East Turkestani fighters against the Chinese Government, Mustafa accepted and began training hordes of Islamist fighters to wage a guerilla war against the Chinese government, he would receive almost positive news coverage in the West, and would find a substantial fortune coming from Liberal NGOs who supported him as a great warrior for "human rights" and "democracy". After retiring from his work in East Turkestan he would still have the spark of war in him, since he wanted to truly be able to wage Jihad an Islamic Revolution that would bring a world Islamic state, the Caliphate.

Fueled by Islamic ideology and trained with combat experience, he would form a PMC known as Saladin Al-Bittar, he traveled across Central Asia looking for the best Islamic fighters to join his PMC and he would form a consortium of elite, well-paid Muslim fighters from across the former Soviet Union, he would train jihadis from all over the Levant to overthrow secular dictatorships, and would often be supported by the local Gulf Monarchs and their wealthy pay masters. His PMC grew so large that he would participate in the Fourth Intifada in Gaza against the Israeli Government, that would be put down by the Israeli air-force, but Mustafa managed to get away, the Israelis called him "Sea Serpent", Mustafa was called this because he manged to escape in a Narco-Sub which he had earlier managed to enter Gaza from Libya with and also because the Israeli viewed him like the Serpent, a man of great deceit who managed to radicalize many Palestinians as soon as he arrived, he was almost cult like and messianic to those who followed him.

With the growing number of military resources at his disposal, a numerous jihadist army all over Libya, the Sinai, the Levant, Iraq and Gaza he would form a new force devoted to overthrowing the Government of Iraq, this force was Jaysh Al-Islam he would team up with a wealthy and powerful Anbar sheikh Ahmed Suliman and militant leader Ahmed Al-Tayfour (the leader of the Al-Ittihad Al-Islamiya's Iraqi branch) the PMC Saladin al-Bittar merged with the Iraqi insurgent group and became Jaysh Al-Islam.

They formed a self-declared state in the Anbar province creating the Anbar Emirate, with many former Iraqi Ba'athist officers and experts at his side, a massive proliferation of chemical weapons and what seemed to be an almost endless supply of cash and small arms coming from shady backers, one could only ask who created this dangerous new terrorist group?

Anbar Province, Iraq, Al-Asad Air-force base

It was a day, a large thunder and lightning storm was occurring, the kind of days Mustafa loved they reminded him of the battlefield and of the jihad, the guns of Allah slaying the Kuffar and the Rafidah. outside around his encampment a captured base that was once used by the U.S. Occupation forces and the Rafidah Government. It was now the primary base of operations of Jaysh Al-Islam and their air-arm Force 19 which managed to operate a small group of air-craft.

Mustafa walked into the office sitting down inside was Sheikh Ahmed Suliman a man of great wealth, who used the base to command the new army of Mujahideen, Sheikh Ahmed said "ah Mustafa my Akhi, you come here to discuss our new offensive strategy into Lonograd."

Mustafa responded joyfully "Yes, from what I have seen they are on constant guard at the border, all we need to do is begin a campaign of shelling that will distract them from our righteous lions sneaking across their border, we will attack communications lines and any form of electrical power to weaken them, then have our men come back to Iraq and wait as the Lonogradians intervene, using anti-tank tactics similar to those of Hezbollah we will manage to exhaust their armored divisions, causing disruption in their own country making it ripe for Islamic revolution Insha'Allah, by the way Sheikh, we found the house of Bashar Majnoon, I will avenge your daughter sheikh."

Sheikh Ahmed's daughter had been raped and murdered by Shiites led by local Pro-American warlord Bashar Majnoon, the endless cycle of vengeance was a daily thing in Iraq, often times a member of someones family would be killed by a certain faction and then the other faction would respond by killing members of the other factions family, the cycle of vengeance remnants of the ancient system of tribal warfare.

the Sheikh looked up at Mustafa and said "Insha'Allah, make the Rafidah pay, crush them and make them suffer!"

Bashar Majnoon's safe-house in Baghdad

Bashar Majnoon was sitting down with four of his bodyguards, this man was one of the most powerful shiite warlords in the country, however this was about to come to an end, busting down the door a group of 14 Salafis were in his house, they surrounded Majnoon and his bodyguards, they gathered them outside and gunned them down leaving their bodies for the vultures.

Jaysh al-Islam members after the raid

After Bashar Majnoon was executed, Jaysh al Islam militants began to take out their anger on numerous non-Sunni minorities from Christians, to Yazidis, however they spent most of their time mainly targeting Shiites all over the area, Shiites were being killed, tortured and raped all over, government positions were being shelled and the militants even used chemical weapons such as sarin gas on areas where large portions of Shiites lived, the goal was to agitate the mainly Shiite Government to attack them, so it would start a religious civil-war.

OOC: All right ya`all I need to know your ORBATry. And since Lonograd is the OP, I will ask him to make the OOC thread for discussion & planing.

*** 261821LIMAFEB17: Ishikawa, Tosa castle underground.

Shogun Kojiro was far than more aware of the fact that he had indeed many enemies, ones that tried to bite him around the clock, just waiting to remove the ground from below his legs. Various zaibatsu not really happy from his policy, international bankers, domestic leftists, or simply power hungry individuals prowled twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, eager to get just a small bite at the - seemingly invincible so far - Nifonese statesman. Yet, being former officer of the military intelligence, Kojiro played them out with ease, perfectly knowing his enemies and their weaknesses. Those, whom he trusted, he greatly rewarded. It was not easy to win his trust, but people who done so were members of informal 17KAI, which roughly translated as society of seventeen closest Kojiro's underlings, ones that would have eagerly given lives for him should such need come. Recruited mostly from the virtuous military officials, grassroots statesmen and financiers who came to great wealth thanks to the Nifonese shogun, after he removed the international elite from Nifonese market, this group was his own counter to various less than pleasurable lobbying groups that always tried to get a chance at subverting the great ruler. And today, those seventeen most trusted advisors met in the undergrounds of the Tosa castle, to discuss one of major foreign policy issues: the ever recurring topic of the middle east.

"Allow me to introduce you to the situation!" spoke Admiral Ibuki Ryuta while pointing his muscular arm at the map. This person was often called Kojiro's warhound, as the Shogun eagerly unleashed him against those who dared to threaten Nifon from inside. With shortly cut hair and scar- filled face, he looked like a real killer - and indeed he was, due to his past associations with Yakuza, where he grew up "The gaijin globalist elites have, in my opinion, for too long destroying that region with colonialist policies. Every mess that we are currently observing there is directly theirs, and only theirs fault. It all begun with British colonialism" he cut his speech, seeing the distaste on the faces of the gathered. Nifonese have very few nations they disliked more "And problems they generated are ours to solve now, as Great Britain is nowhere near the power it once used to be. This means that we need to avoid making the greatest mistake the colonialist powers made. What was their mistake? Not caring about the locals. The British cared only for their own power, and so do their elitist inheritors. We on the other hand realize that if they will be happy, we will be happy too - for nothing will disrupt the flow of the oil."

Then another general joined him - a short man with an oval face, pointy cheekbones giving him look of a scary Mongolian warlord extending from below his calm crystal blue eyes, short and thin mouth added to his short gray beard, short mustache combined with dark gray military uniform made him look like sort of experienced general out of Chinese legends, one who always knows what his enemies are going to do eight steps forward - and already has a way of preventing them from stepping into where they want, like a master chess player sets enemy up for check mate. This was Gen. Takeda Daisuke, current Chief of General Staff, arguably one of most influential people in Imperial Nifonese Army, and one of major Kojiro's allies in this time of darkness.

"Kojiro-sama" the accomplished general begun his speech, pointing at the ethnic and religious map "Our major foe and major representative of the Moscow ideological colonialism is at this moment Lonograd. It's close connections to communism and socialism can not be denied. But at this moment it finds itself in grave peril. Israel, as obvious, does not like it. Lebanon does neither, and our forces are already involved in supporting local Sunni and Maronite militias in their attempt in pacification of Baalbek uprising. Heavenly Father's willing, soon there will be nothing to collect from the terrorists." Daisuke grinned, showing that crushing the terrorists was for him as easy as crushing a snail "The Iraq is now key to strategy of encirclement you proposed earlier, Kojiro - sama. We have extremely good relations with Turkey thanks to our Riysan partners and Lebanese government is basically on our leash. The last piece needed to completely isolate Lonograd from the world we need - is Iraq. This will be the hardest one, judging by population and situation, but possible entirely. Once at least the sunni part is seized, Lonograd will be completely cut off from the world."

Shogun Kojiro, who until now remained silent, rose slowly his head. There was something strange about this man - a man surrounded by an aura of charisma and authority, yet so silent and calm like a morning breeze.

"Honorable kunshi." he begun "We need to be aware of what is at stake. If we do not end this madness caused by relicts of British colonialism and Soviet imperialism, our key allies and oil providers such as Riysa or Bashriyya will be threatened, and ever spreading chaos will create wave of terrorism unseen before. This will, in turn, attack the oil prices and drive us high. Nations or non-state actors which we do not want in power will gain enough influence to generate issues to our foreign policy, especially to our traditional anti - leftist allies. But at the same time, we can not forget honor. Mizushima-san, what are our options?"

"At first" smiled the newly risen legendary Admiral "We need to splinter alliance between Ba'ath and Jihadists. Many of former Saddam era officers will eagerly be bought into coalition as soon as we get them a chance to do so, as their alliance is solely out of necessity. They want to profit as well, so I figure our option will satisfy them better."

"We need to as well do something about the Sunni - Shiite divide in Iraq" suggested head of the naval intelligence "My proposition is an independence referendum and recognition of a new state, a shiite dominated Southern Iraq. Sunni North will be linked with Syria in a state modeled after Riysa, dominated by a Tawfiqist - nationalist coalition of various faiths. That way we will solve the ever spinning sunni - shiite war which nothing short of separation will stop. We could also see if Mukharabat al - Riysi has some Shiite cleric on payroll or weather we could recruit one to generate a theological divide. Shiite south should be allowed to be independent only with proper anti - Iranian coalition in power. One that will stomp Hezbollah into dust."

"But we need to do something about Kurdistan" Daisuke replied. His stationing in Lebanon made him too aware of the issues of the region he was now talking about.

"I have an idea" the reply came from Shogun Kojiro "Al Hiwari - san suggested it to me a while ago, during our private conversation. How about arming and supporting Kurdish insurgency in Iran? That way we could damage our other fore, and once an independent Kurdistan is carved out of Iranian territory, movement of Kurds into that area will begin, satisfying our Turkish allies and solving their problem once and for all...."

"Outstanding idea Kojiro-sama!" smiled General Ikeda Saburo "Once the Northern Iraq is firmly under control of our allies, we can make preparations for creating chaos in Lonograd. Our hybrid warfare will set up stage for an insurgency extremely quickly should we gain it..."

"Tokugawa - san" Kojiro addressed a woman sitting opposite to him, a woman which no matter of her 40 years of age never lost her natural beauty "You will call Riysans, Turks and Bashriyyans. See what they think of this issue. Now, I need someone to deliver me a proper plan of a hybrid intervention...."

"I will do!" a voice came from the end of the table. It came from a tall, muscular man mixing caucasian and mongoloid features, with short, darker hair and extended cheekbones. This was Jack Kurosawa, Nifonese - Aravean mercenary and CEO of Bushido Solutions LTD, one of grandest PMCs in Nifon.

"Tell us your offer then, Kurosawa - san." smiled the Shogun Kojiro as the discussion went on. Dark clouds were gathering on Lonograd.... And it was not sure weather Aladeen could stop them.

*** 262115CHARLIEFEB17

General Khalid Tlass was certainly not a man to like delays.

Mosul, once grand and powerful city that stood up to the crusaders, resembled a heap of ruble mixed with destroyed ruins and people living in state of poverty, destroyed by over ten years of long warfare, with bullets constantly flying over their heads, bombs exploding in the streets, killing children that only wished to have a nice childhood and enjoy their play. Tlass, himself former colonel in Ba`athist military, defected to the anti - American resistance, but struck deal with US forces in 2008 and lived a calm, civilian life from that time on - until a militia slaughtered all his sons and kidnapped his wife to make her a sex slave. Tlass, in anger and in fury, left to the North, where he established a militia of his own; quickly exploiting the situation resulting from withdrawal of the American forces to establish himself as warlord in areas of Nineveh and Dhouk provinces. While his militia was mostly sunni - dominated, General Khaild announced policy of religious tolerance for every monotheistic faith, as well as letting local kurds retain autonomy in multiple areas. His militiamen were forbidden to loot and rape and ordered to respect local civilians; which given him enough support to build foundations upon, judging that even Kurdish population in this region preferred his rule rather than Marxist insurgents doing everything to destroy their identity through series of well coordinated acts of terror against anyone who disagreed with them.

Gen. Tlass slowly moved his cigar as he remembered the war - like the hellfire, Dantean scenes of explosions moved forward in front of his eyes. If the circumstances were different, he would have bet that this was some old war movie, that he will next wake up.. but then the very memory of injury he suffered above his left eye, which now remained as an enormous scar giving him a bandit like look remained. For that reason he chosen "Ali Baba" as his codename, and under that name the "Jackal of the Desert" was well feared during the guerilla battles in Iraq.

Moving his cigar away from his mouth, he looked at his contact with Bushido Solutions Ltd - a middle aged Asian gentleman in tight, black t-shirt, military trousers in desert tiger stripe camouflage, short, raven black hair, square face and small mouth coupled with pair of little green eyes looking around. Next to him was an enormous sword, likely some kind of family reminder.

"Khalid - Sama" smiled the gentleman, looking directly into the eyes of Iraqi general and putting his hands into a pyramid "I am most concerned that this alliance will be beneficial for us. Your brothers in ideology, the Riysans, are our long time friends and partners in global issues. Thus, you can gain a lot from Nifonese backing."

"I must be sure about your good intentions first to finalize this one." the Iraqi general acted mostly out of compassion for his countrymen and had no intention for a new occupier, be it Asian or Western, to enter in "What do you want in return."

The answer shocked him:

"Stability." the Nifonese man grinned his moth "Kojiro-sama realized the threat our enemies pose to our stability. If we are to dig Iraqi oil, we will do so as partners, not as masters. Because there is something that we have and gaijin do not - and the answer is honor!. "

The Iraqi general slowly dropped his head and thought, only to finally utter a simple sentence:

"I believe we have a deal..."

Riyad
Presidential Palace
10:30AM

General Mohammed Bahir was walking down the long hallways of the Palace, it was originally built by the French when the Sykes-Picot agreement granted them ownership of the nation after the defeat of the Ottoman empire in world war one. Part of the Palace had to be rebuild when the Ba'athist coup overthrow the center-right government which was put in place by the French during their withdrawal in 1946 and severed as a puppet government which still allowed western Oil companies stay while the people lived in abstract poverty. In his hand was a document which had the details of the border attack that happened yesterday and ended with seventy soldiers killed, two T-55 tanks, one T-72 tank, and four BTR-80 Armoured Personal Carriers destroyed. Bahir was a loyal Ba'ath party member and commander of the Air force, he was one of the main players when Hafez Aladeen took over in a military coup d'état called the "Corrective Revolution", which overthrew the right-wing branch of the Ba'ath party which also took power in a coup one year before. Bahir was one of Hafez Aladeen's most trusted generals and was one of his close friends, he advised Hafez on many crucial issues, such as more Pro-Soviet, and arming Iran during the Iran-Iraq war, for this he was labelled a "traitor to the Arab and Ba'ath movement". When Hafez died in 2000, he was shocked that Bashir Aladeen was going to be his successor, he saw Bashir as incompetent, weak, and too heavily influenced by his wife, of course he wouldn't say anything, it took him twenty years to get where he was now and was not going to loose it all over a disagreement with the new management.

Bahir had reached the Presidential office, he took a long sigh before knocking on the door. He walked in and saw Bashir Aladeen with his wife Asma playing with their two children, this of course disgusted him, Bahir thought that a strong leader must be one hundred percent committed to their job as president and should not be distracted by the family life. After waiting several minutes, he got annoyed and said, "excuse me your excellency, I have an important document that you might want to see." Bashir Aladeen stood up, he went over to Bahir and asked, "What is it?", Bahir replied by saying, maybe we should discuss this somewhere else, I have already alerted all of our top commanders and party officials to meet at the war room". "Fine." Bashir said before telling his wife he had some important business to attend to and will be back in forty five minutes or more, depends how long this meeting will be. He and general Bahir then left room, walked down the long hallways and headed towards the war room.

Bashir Aladeen and general Bahir finally reached the war room, the room was full of what was called the party "elite", members of the Army, Navy, Special forces, Republican Guard, Arab Liberation Front, and several high ranking Ba'ath party members were all standing at the table, they gave Aladeen a roman salute before sitting down. General Bahir also sat down as well before Bashir Aladeen started to speak, "So, why did you all ask me to come down here?", the members of the government started to give each other nervous looks, they knew that Bashir had a short temper like his father and would get angry very quickly if the military had suffered looses that could easily be avoided, head of the Army which it's official name had changed to the Lonogradian Arab Army from the Lonogradian People's Arab Army to seem less communist stood up, "Your excellency, we have a report of that one of our Border outposts was attacked by who we confirm to be is Jaysh Al Islam, there are more details in the document that General Mohammed Bahir has". He then sat back down into his seat as Bahir throws the document onto the table, Bashir picks the document up and started to read it, his face started to go bright red with anger, he put down the document and shouted, "what the fuck did I just read!?, seventy dead!? three tanks and four BTRs destroyed! How the fuck did this happen!?" He then gave a long annoyed sigh, "when I became president in 2000, I promised my people hope, change, that the Arabs will no longer be slaves, now we are surrounded by SACTO nations who seek to destroy us and bring our nation under the enslavement of capitalism." He then gave a longer sigh and finished by saying, "I want the ALF to secretly be sent to Iraq, make up the appearance that it is a popular uprising, we should get some supports by the Shias and hopefully some former Ba'athists who reject Islamism, although I wouldn't count on it, is that understood?" . The room gave a little hesitation before they all said, "Yes, my President". Aladeen then told them all to get out or they would be fired.

**** 012007BRAVOMARCH17: Diyabakir, Turkey.

The war has changed. And so did the society.

The era of major industrial era wars, where millions of soldiers clashed against each other in enormous battles over fronts that had thousands of kilometers in length was no more, and not just because of the introduction of nuclear weaponry, weapon so grave and powerful that it made conventional warfare with it's use too risky and costly to wage. One could say that the nuke was nail to the coffin of the industrial world; but that was only part of the truth. The second major factor was outgrowth of technical progress, and introduction of so called information technology, which connected the entire world with countless lines exchanging information as quick as wind. Without any oversight, thanks to release of the interned by the CIA, an entire new kind of jungle unknown to the analysts before appeared, only increasing the era of mass communication chaos. Analysts looked at the results and pondered, for the outcome was stranger than any science fiction movie they watched in the days before. First came the mass media such as radio or television, allowing to directly rely information to the public, and thus, the totalitarian governments to spread their poison on scale unseen before. Then came the internet, which allowed virtually everyone - including madmen, self proclaimed prophets, or radical fringe groups - to have their voice heard with equal power that television had until now. SetsuMedia, Setsuzoku social network, and other platforms only strengthened them and amplified their message, until the point where militants used SetsuMedia to show the world their propaganda messages, posting threats against their enemies and winning support of the people. "Cyberjungle" grew and grew, until it remade the very world we live in. When the cold war ended... a new global order awakened.

Old powers from the cold war era wished nothing else than a global reality dominated by themselves, eager even to bring themselves together, while idealistic philosophers like Fukuyama proclaimed "the end of history". Everyone seemed to welcome the global victory of democracy and liberalism, the Western model, which was praised under heavens as final evolution of human governments, something perfect and absolute that will bring everyone universal happiness. The world was supposed to merge into global democracy where peace and prosperity was to reign.

Until it didn't.

Contrary to their expectations, liberalism failed, and completely new geopolitical powers begun their emergence. One of them was the Empire of Greater Nifon, which entered the global scene for good only in 1989, when then General Maki Kojiro, highly involved in local intelligence structure, with cooperation of the Emperor Go - Shōkō and few military officers ousted liberal government of Goya Kazushi from power. This coup was something more than just anti-corruption campaign. In 1970s, counterculture entered Nifon and PM Kazushi was seen as one of it's major symbol. Young. Bold. Reformer, willing to overstep needless traditions and bring Nifon into the modern age - yet he failed. His economic policies caused meltdown of one of fastest growing economies in the world, and counterculture met staunch and powerful opposition, until it burned itself to finally quietly descend six feet below the ground when Kojiro took power. The death of counterculture, which so much changed the west, hailed the awakening of a new rival to the new global order, rival who did not share the liberal international relations philosophy of the modern west, but rather looked on itself as last bastion of realism, and concluded the modern liberal order as not beneficial to itself.

For Shogun Kojiro, seeing the post - modern structure, quickly came to conclusion that institutions and and structures we have today are relicts of the past, no longer applicable today, so outdated that they can no longer even evolve into something proper. Seeing himself as a hammer against the colonialism, Kojiro quietly weaved plans of a global restart. COSTAL treaty was only step one in his plan; for the famous Nifonese warlord had no plans to stop until the very world order built by colonialism in XIX and XX century would be dissolved. Industrial age belonged to the West. Now it was time for the Information age to belong to the East!

Iraq was just one of many steps on the path to Kojiro's grand strategic goal of revision of - in his opinion unfair - international order and countering the forces of the global federalism, cosmopolitanism. Middle east, the blood stained land of so many wars and birthplace of so many religions, was quickly identified as one of key focal points of the new global politics. If the global revision was ever to come, it had to begun in a region that at this moment was among the most affected ones...

And thus, one after another, unmarked tactical air lifters landed on a local airport in Diyabakir. Each three carried three Type 52 infantry fighting vehicles, with fourth one carrying the applique armor and other equipment. Each of the IFVs was painted in a pattern resembling the one used by the Turkish armed forces and, as the aircraft, had no identifications on itself. Soldiers accompanying them wore commonly accessible on civilian market " Wustentarn " uniforms, which despite their age provided excellent level of camouflage, as well as Arakawa Type 8 rifles - a perfect weapon for fighting in such environment. From beneath the various ski masks and other face covers one could estimate mongoloid origin of those soldiers, but even discovery that they spoke Nifonese did not change anything - after all, Nifonese were common "commodity" on the mercenary market, so it was natural that they fought in multiple wars. It won't be that hard to deny once the storm breaks loose.

Hybrid nation - state conflicts of the XXI century required different type of force than mass wars of XX century - and so such formation appeared here. It was officially a Mechanized Hunter Seeker brigade from Bushido Solutions Int, but in fact, behind the deniable cover, hid reservists of the Kaigun Rikusentai. 5500 Nifonese soldiers were going to be transported here over the following 10 days, alongside with considerable amount of air power. In order to increase deployment of the force, a recoanissance element would be flown to Turkey to prematurely penetrate the border and secure the entry point. Remaining elements were going to be packed on an unmarked ship then sent - under disguise of Kaigun protecting civilian convoys - to the port of Antalya in Turkey, where they would be unpacked and subsequently drive about 600 kilometers to the staging ground. At given order, the entire brigade would cross the border at night, driving in smaller, dispersed groups, heading into the Sawha controlled territory.

As the situation in the south was unfolding, in the North watchful Nifonese eyes observed the conflict, just waiting for suitable moment to begin their grand plan of strategic encirclement of Lonograd.

Psst

"Brothers, it is clear that once again, Iraq is in a state of turmoil. Many resistance groups are forming against the Shia-led government. This, gentlemen, is the byproduct of American aggression against our Iraq of Saddam Hussein. We need to take this opportunity to strike the Shia government and establish a Ba'ath State once again. Our grips are strong at Diyala and Saladin, with many cells forming at the Sunni Triangle. This, is different from what we have experienced in the past. Now, a Tawfiqist militia is forming up North, yet the Salafists have taken over much of Western Iraq, in Anbar. While the South is rotting with Shiite groups as well as their government. Gentlemen, like it or not, we have to make a deal with the Tawfiqist, that no fighting shall occur between us, and them."

"But...what about Anbar? What about the Salafists trying to create an Islamic State?"

"Anbar is a hellhole, we should let them be there and we'll deal with them later, that, I can promise. For now, we must unite against the common enemy, the Shia government. Same like the Kurds, none of us like them, but we'll have to wait. You need to understand. No incursions by our troops shall be made to the territory of the Kurds, or the Tawfiqist, then we can expect the same from them. As per Anbar, we'll be active around the Sunni Triangle and Haditha, no more than that."

"Gentlemen, Baghdad is indeed within our sights, taking it will criple the Shia government. However, it will not be easy. First, we will need to criple their morals, THEN, we cripple them. My plans are to revive Juba. We shall infiltrate the neighbourhoods of Baghdad with our Snipers, and start our Baghdad Sniper Campaign once again. Juba, as you might have known, is not a single sniper.

"Juba is our collection of snipers, creating an image that Juba is an active lone sniper in Baghdad will terrorize the enemy, as what they know is that Juba is one, a single, legendary sniper whom terrorizes the Americans back then. That way, it strikes terror to the hearts of our enemies, just like it did to the hearts of the American troops. That is why, Juba's face shall never be revealed. Everytime our snipers conduct an operation in Baghdad, it shall be video taped and uploaded online, under the guise of 'Juba'. This, I'll leave to the Islamic Army in Iraq to handle. Moreover, we'll start to gather intels regarding convoys and so on, so that we can get teams of guerillas to ambush it, regular work. Plus, we'll have to start manufacturing more and more IEDs, bombs, and rockets if we want to be serious about this. Other than that, our propaganda branch shall be more active, videos should be uploaded to show how we have control of Diyala and Saladin, along with the Sniper Campaign of Baghdad that we'll soon start."

The Knights of Islam

As the flames of war raged in Iraq and neighboring nations several resistance groups formed, all sympathetic to a common cause, Islam. The Knights of Islam was rather small compared to the other groups and little was known about it. Many questioned who funded it, what the real ideology is, and who it's leadership was. Some sources claimed it was former Ba'athists others claiming it was a tribal group. The group proved itself in Fallujah it's HQ. The leader of the group was the group's biggest secret not so much as a Kunya was known many refereed to him as 'The Shadow Sheikh', even the group's own publications called him as such. Little does anyone know however the group's true intentions and goals will be made clear in the very near future.

Masjid Al-Furqan, Fallujah 18:00

The Al-Furqan Mosque was a small humble Mosque inside was filled with worshipers praying their daily prayers. Leading the prayers was the Shadow Sheikh himself little to anyone's knowledge. After finishing the prayers he gave his sermon, but this one was different then the others. He cleared his throat Bismillah Irahman Irahim he then followed by sending his blessings to the Prophet and his companions and family, then he greeted the crowd and they replied with their sending of peace to one another.

I am declaring this territory the United Wilayats of Baghdad & Anbar and our loyalty to Jaysh Al-Islam, we will work with our brothers from Jaysh Al-Islam in Fallujah and Anbar and fight against the Shias and the Nationalists. Swiftly with the sword of religion we will pave our way to all of Iraq than Sham we will then go to Jerusalem. If you give me your allegiance we will bring about a new era that over shadows that of even the Abbasids. We will create an Islamic nation that meets with the demands of the 21st century and Muslims our group has a humble upbringing fighting crusaders and apostates. We call on our brothers in Iraq from every Sunni group Ba'athist, Salafi, or Sufi to join us in the creation of the Mujahideen Shura Council that shall serve as the governing of the affairs of Baghdad and Anbar and eventually all of Iraq. Lonograd will pay for their intrusion with their blood as will those who call themselves Sunni but refuse to the command of Allah. This is no easy task or one of pleasure this is a difficult one and will be handled with much care and we the leadership of this group rely on the public for support. May the blessings and mercy of God be upon you. The sermon made by the Shadow Sheikh was recorded by audio and posted all over the internet.

After the sermon several vehicles loyal to The Knights of Islam began driving to Anbar to meet with Tribal leaders, the Sheikh himself was in one of the vehicles on its way to Anbar to meet Mustafa Hassan. In hopes of their new group to become a reality and to discuss plans for a possible wave of attacks in the country.

Two men stand in front of a camera, one holding an Kalashnikov and the other holding a black flag with white Arabic lettering on it.

"In the name of Allah the beneficial and the merciful, we are the men of Jaysh Al-Islam, and this is a message to the dog Khalid Tlass and his forces of evil."

an almost hypnotic song, with no instruments, a nasheed, chanting begins to play.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Oh, oh SACTO this will be the final road."

" Dajjal Khalid Tlass, you will not pass, you will not pass, you will not pass."

" Dajjal Khalid Tlass, you will not pass, you will not pass, you will not pass."

*gun shots are heard*

"You challenged us now you will die, at the hands of the soldiers of Allah."

footage of Jihadists jumping through rings of fire, practicing martial arts and bomb making is shown.

"You challenged us now you will die, at the hands of the soldiers of Allah."

"We will detonate ourselves for Allah, we will be in Jannah,"

"We will be in Jannah, with our maidens"

"it is our certainty our people will be free!"

"This is our certainty, the Ummah will be free!"

"The Ummah will be Freeeeee!!!!!"

Al-Khalidiya, Anbar province

Inside a well-lit room were the highest ranking members of Jaysh Al-Islam Ahmed Suliman, Mustafa Hassan and Dagechnyan volunteer Imran Akhmadov

Akhmadov spoke "This is is the perefect advantage, brothers in the Knights of Islam want to join us in our revolution, it shows we are making grounds against the Imperialist Crusaders, the Rafidah, and the Communists .",

Mustafa laughed "Masha'Allah my brother, it shows other Mujahideen recognize us, our plan is coming into full tuition, what our brothers in Afghanistan established will not be in vain, their dream of an Islamic state free from the Jewish capitalist system will be fulfilled, but only until after we unleash the fire that Allah has willed us to have. "

the Emir Suliman spoke "Silence, we must be prepared to move to the next phase of our plan, inform our brothers in the Knights of Islam we accept their offer, we will need to make concessions with the Rafidah, I want the fire to engulf Tel Aviv by tomorrow then people, will see our true power."

To: the Knights of Islam

"We accept you with open arms brothers, the time has come for a united front to drive the infidel from Iraq once and for all, to overthrow their corrupt puppet regime and to install an Islamic state, all Insha'Allah."

The leadership of the KOI was coming to meet with the JAI to form a new more powerful organization.

Bashriyyan-Hatayan border, Furouq deserts

It was a dark night, heavy raining with an almost apocalyptic lightning and thunder storm

closed communications going back and forth between the handler an officer in Nashid's secretive special forces unit Fedayeen Bashriyya and a small unit of about 8 men of Al-Ithaad Al-Islamiya, all 8 men were armed with M72 LAW rocket launchers for their planned attack on the Hatayan border guard, their goal was to place the black flag as a way to embarrass Hatay before the international community, sending a message of hope for Islamists everywhere that Hatay is weak.

They used the dead of night, to trick the Hatayans, all eight of them congregated on a cliff over looking the Hatayan out-post, they had the high ground and relative cover, they fired the rockets, hitting various guard towers, jeeps and one barrack, shouts of "Takbir, Allahu Akbar" would be heard buy the Hatayan soldiers, it would be clear the terrorists were using Bashriyyan soil as their based, a flag pole was placed in the ground on a hill, clearly seen was the flag of Jaysh al-Islam it would commence to wave in the wind.

Basra
Basra Governorate
0700 Hours

The hot sun pierced trough the city, people were going around in their daily lives, buying and selling in the bazaars. Of course the city was guarded by both Shiite Islamist groups like the Badr Organization and the Mahdi Army, but also a branch of the ALF known as the Arab Liberation Front - Iraq Branch which had set up Basra as their main HQ. They had opposing views with the Shia Islamists as they wanted an Islamic Republic like Iran while the Arab Liberation Front wanted a Ba'athist state which would later be annexed by Lonograd and would be seen as the first step in achieving a United Arab Republic based on Nasser's ideals. The Iraqi civil war forced the two factions to make a temporary alliance as they both fought against American forces, Saddam Loyalists and radical Sunni groups like Jaysh Al Islam and the Knights of Islam, both the ALF and the Shiite groups considered these groups to be puppets of America and Israel, they were created to destabilise the middle east and were a excuse to invade Arab lands and steal their precious oil, this was seen as the "war on terror" in the west and was completely justified as war criminals Bush and Blair said that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction", and that they were there to bring "freedom and democracy" to Iraq. After the Coalition toppled Saddam, they established a brutal occupation of Iraq, hundreds arrested and put in prison camps, beaten and tortured by the guards, dozens killed with many just "disappearing" over night, foreign Oil companies being allowed into the country and stealing the nation's main resources while the people suffered in horrible living conditions, even Iraqis who supported the invasion and celebrated when Saddam fell, were now joining multiple resistance/Insurgent groups all over the country and were all fighting to free their nation from foreign occupation, and restore Iraq to its glory days, Iraq was the birthplace of civilisation and the resistance groups were not going to allow it to be a puppet state of America or a client state like Egypt, Qatar, Oman, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, a government which would claim to be "democratic" and "elected", however this government would be corrupt to its core and not serve the people but serve nations and organisations like NATO and Israel.

After the American withdrawal from Iraq, the Iraqi people hoped it would also end the violence and bring peace to not only the country but to the region as a whole, this of course didn't happen as multiple Takfiri terrorist groups had now sprung up across the nation, especially in Sunni dominated areas like Anbar who were severally oppressed by the Shiite government and Iranian backed militias. This would be a good recruitment tool for the Islamists as they promised to protect the Sunni Population from what they called a "Shia Kuffar, Iranian puppet regime". The Islamists also attacked Lonogradian border checkpoints, this would anger the government in Riyad which would respond by secretly arming and funding the Arab Liberation Front - Iraq Branch. Another reason why Lonograd was arming the ALF was because of a new Tawfiqist Militia in the North which called its self "Iraqi Awakening Front", a Nifonese backed group which seeks to make Iraq into a SACTO puppet state and finally encircle Lonograd with nothing but aggressive and Hostile neighbours and cut it off with the rest of the world. The Arab Liberation Front - Iraq Branch was not going to let that happen, already they had received dozens of weapons from the Lonogradian border and were going to receive more, they had also set up a secret meeting in Karbala to discuss what their strategy would be on how to combat SACTO and prevent Iraq from falling under their control.

Karbala
Karbala Governorate
2100 Hours

The ancient city of Karbala was beautiful a night, although the sound of celebratory gunfire did drown the calls from the grand mosque as Shiite Militias celebrated by going out into the streets and firing their weapons. Meanwhile, while all of this was happening, a secret meeting was going on between the leaders of the Arab liberation Front - Iraq Branch, in a old Apartment bloc in downtown Karbala, the owner of the apartment was a known Shiite fighter and had participated in the 1991 Iraq uprising against Saddam Hussein's regime, he let the Arab Liberation Front have its meeting in his apartment because he sympathised with their cause of Arab unity and throwing off the shackles of oppression which was cast down on them by imperialist and Zionist entities like SACTO and Israel.

The leader of the Arab Liberation Front - Iraq Branch, Tariq Hassam started to speak, "comrades, Iraq once again is facing peril, not only are facing Saddam loyalists, but also Takfiri terrorists groups such as Jaysh Al Islam and the knights of Islam, we are also facing a new threat.

A Northern group calling them selves "Iraqi Awakening Front" has also entered the fray, this group claim that they trying to liberate Iraq from imperialism, however this group are nothing but paid bandits and Nifonese agents!

They wish to sell to sell our glorious motherland to the vile hands of SACTO! They are false Arabs who murder their own brethren in the name of profit. They follow the same ideology of the tyrant of Riysa, Za'im Tawfiq al-Hiwari, do we want a false Arab, SACTO puppet to rule Iraq? Or do we want a true Arab and true Iraqi to rule?!

These people want to tear Iraq apart into sectarian lines, but we will not let them! For soon the ALF flag will fly over Baghdad and then the whole of Iraq! Allah Akbar!" The rest of the leaders and commanders of the Arab Liberation Front - Iraq Branch shouted as well, "Allah Akbar!" "Long Live Iraq!" "Long Live Bashir Aladeen!" "Long Live the ALF!" "Long Live Islam!"

لست أرضى المقام

"Bismillah ir rahman ir rahim, all praise is due to Allah, and Allah alone. Peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad(SAW) and his family.

Oh people of Iraq, for years you have been oppressed, for so long, the Shia al Rafida government have lied to you, stole your money, and murdered your loved ones under the directives of their American, Zionist backers that have ruined our Iraq since their unjustified invasion of our land more than a decade ago. People of Iraq, your government is the same government who, along with the Majoosi of Iran, the Nusayri of Lonograd have funded Shia Militias who have harrased your life for years ever since the invasion. They talk about the Axis of Evil, yet I ask you, oh Zionist, who consists of the real Axis of Evil? I tell you, people of Iraq, they are the real evil of this Earth. The American invaders, the Zionists, the Rafida government and its Shabiha are the real evil. People of Iraq, the times of Saddam Hussein, where Iraq was at peace is over, our days of glory are no more, thanks to these coalition of evil. For now, we have risen once again against the government and its proxies for the greater good. I call upon the people of Iraq, to take up arms and rise up against them. Be it with a knife, be it with a rifle, be it with a Kalashnikov, kill them wherever you find them. For the times of negotiation is over, they have disappointed us, they have disgraced the name of Iraq. Iraq, the time has come for you to rise up once more, and wage Jihad of resistance. Charge like Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) and be the Lions of Allah like Hamza ibn Abdul Mutalib was. Strike fear to the hearts of your enemies, and see Jannah al Firdaws when you see their weapons fire back against you, for Allah has prepared a beautiful room for the martyrs in heaven. Thousands of hundreds of your brothers are on your side. To the Shia government, expect us, expect us for we are coming, your time is soon, ya Rawafid.

I also call upon the Tawfiqist coalition of the Iraqi Awakening Front, and I call upon the Army of Islam (Jaysh al Islam), brothers in Islam, lower your guns against one another, do not fight your brother in cause and religion, for we have a common enemy, a greater enemy that wishes our death. We should unite against the Shia government and their militias, and strike fear to them, together. With this, I proclaim the areas of Saladin and Diyala governorate as our territories, territories of the Military Council for Jihad and Revolution, as well as its numerous brigades and militias. Wasalam." Abu Salahudin made a short speech.

Anbar

it had been 20 days since the Nifonese had begun to deploy in support of the Iraqi Awakening Force, this sent a shake to the Jaysh Al-Islam who began to worry that this group would weaken their influence in the region, It was a massive site, thousands of jihadists in one location, four brigades prepared to drive out the Iraqi Awakening Force, as part of 'Operation', a total 0f 2,000 Toyota technicals could be seen from afar. Watching his men from a hill was Imran Akhmadov commander of the Chechen Volunteer forces and now commander of the entire operation, giving him command a large number of men.

He began to show his men the map, "The enemy has men stationed in thew the town of Al-Shirqat, and they have established their place in the Nineveh Governorate, Tal Afar and Mosul being areas we can expect heavy resistance, Mosul is their capital where they intend to establish a secular nationalist republic to challenge our goals for an Islamic state."

he smiled looking at his officers in his tent, he said "Gentlemen, we are sure to win, we will finally use our air-support, five Su-17 fighter bombers will lead our charge on Mosul, while my Chechens will storm the town of Al-Shirqart to clear it and estbalish our own forces in that area, the Osama Bin Laden Martyrs Brigade will assault Tal Afar, and both the Martyrs of Islam and Khalid Ibn Walid Volunteer Brigades will crush the Nifonese crusaders in Mosul using their armored and infantry capabilities." he laughed "gentlemen onward to glorious victory." he then shouted "Takbeer!" to which his men all responded "Allahu Akbar!"

Area surrounding Mosul/Nineveh plains
0700 hours

A total of five Islamist flown Sukhoi Su-17 fighter bombers were flying to Mosul, with the goal of bombing the city, advancing below in the desert were thousands of technicals, the long line could be seen, it comprised about 90,000 jihadists traveling through the plains surrounding Mosul, it was a massive force, the dust could be seen for miles. The force consisted of 6 M113 armored personnel carriers, 4 T-72 tanks, 5 T-55 tanks, 4 M1 Abrams along with numerous jihadists armed with AKM assault rifles and RPG-7s, this force was assigned with one duty to crush the Iraqi Awakening Force. Staying behind the lines of the advancing forces, were jihadists manning mortars, D-30 artillery and ATGMs.

The first wave were truck bombs who targeted the city with suicide attacks.

Tal-Afar

The Osama Bin Laden Martyrs Brigade had arrived, the group numbering about 9,000 had arrived to Tal-Afar, in a long line of Technicals and trucks, armed with various small-arms, they began to surround the town, the first thing that was done was a small mortar strike, while the men watched, the plan being to bomb the town and wait for a response from the IAF.

the forces of the Chechen martyrs brigade were forced to hold off their attack, they suffered too many logistical problems, and a lack of equipment.

With the unity of The Knights of Islam and Jaysh Al-Islam this lead to many opportunities including the shared interest of an Islamic State. The Knights of Islam already administered the Fallujah and Western Baghdad region as an Emirate ruled by the Shadow Sheikh and his Shura. Now with the unity of the groups in Anbar the Emirate has expanded itself into The Islamic Emirate of Baghdad & Anbar (IEBA). With this unity came the decision to create The Mujahideen Shura Council to govern the affairs of fighters from all groups with in the groups in The Knights of Islam and Jaysh Al-Islam. In the Council would hold spiritual leaders from both groups appointed based on their honesty and their spiritual strength. After unity was achieved an audio statement was released from IEBA.

In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious & Most Merciful. With the unity of the brothers the flags of Monotheism now reign high above this historic land. This is the land of Prophets and Muslims not of Shia dogs, Nationalists, or any other Satanic system. We will conquer Iraq like the Rashiduns we will continue from this land into the Levant and Jerusalem. Lonograd is a nation of degeneracy funding groups of devieants who have traded the Law of Almighty for Nationalism, they will fund any group of animals with fain, but never could they allow for another great Islamic nation. They can slander us they can talk ill of us but never will we sit idle while the Muslims are being oppressed.

Anbar
In Anbar with the group having hundreds of soldiers along with men from Jaysh preparing to assault Mosul. The vehicles which transported the fighters from Fallujah where now off to Mosul. The fighters had little equipment except what the captured from Iraqi police and the army many of them wore hoodies with masks, tactical vests and military pants. Most of the fighters carried AKs or M4s their technicals had old Russian anti-aircraft guns with Saddam era-Iraqi flags or Black flags flying from the vehicles. As men were gathered around preparing for this massive attack the Shadow Sheikh came out to them wearing a black Turban and black clothing he said Who wants to be a Martyr? We need 5 brave lions of our religion who want to enter paradise today. Several men raised there hands and the Sheikh replied All praise is due to Allah, follow me. He walked towards a BMP and pulled out an military helmet filled with paper Form a line a pick one. he ordered. The first man picked a paper with the words "Martyrdom" written in Arabic and it continued until 5 men were selected the rest were to be back ups. He spoke to the 5 Allah has chosen you my brothers, each one of you will serve an important duty, you will carry out martyrdom attacks by driving vehicles into the enemy positions to weaken them, then the other brothers will proceed in and fight them, your sacrifice will not be in vain.

Mosul
0815 hours
The suicide bombers drove their vehicles into several targeted positions, the clouds from the explosions were seen for miles and shook the Earth. Soon to be followed were technicals and armed men joining the rest of Jaysh Al-Islam. They got into their positions the fighters from the Knights of Islam were used to urban warfare fighting in Fallujah and Baghdad. Many of the commanders were Republican Guard commanders who fought during the Gulf wars, Iran-Iraq war and of course the 2003 invasion of Iraq they learned from their mistakes and had an army of highly motivated men ready to die for the cause and even welcomed death this was easy for them. One Republican Guard commander who went by "Assad" spoke to another former Baathist commander This will be easy, these amateurs don't know what they are doing and the Sunni Arabs will rule Iraq once again. the other laughed No they don't, we have intelligence and contacts in the city, All praise is due to Allah, Saddam would be giving us medals right now we don't even have to play secularist anymore. Assad smiled and said We have to be brutal this time if we want to survive, those retards from Lonograd want to unite Arabs with some sort of Marxist wet dream but by Allah we will unite the world here in Iraq with Islam. The Other agreed, they wore their old Baathist uniforms and berets as they sit in a office in Anbar looking at multiple laptops and had several radios and satellite phones on the table. The Baathist officer picked up a cell-phone and opened an encrypted messaging app and sent out a mass text to multiple people in Mosul telling them in the message "Now, attack! The armies of the Prophet are there grab your guns and prepare for a new history of the Muslim people!" After this message several sleeper cells began attacking the city from with in, going out with knives and pistols killing anyone seen as an enemy others began throwing homemade grenades and bombs at enemy targets. The city of Mosul was engulfed with chaos during the coarse of this attack.

OOC: The military intelligence organization, I am aware that you are new, so I will not really make an issue for you as your actions with infiltration attacks fit tactical doctrine of insurgent groups and from military PoV, fully make sense. At the same time, teleporting your forces and assuming that they just gotten in, especially without giving ORBAT, is not really something I would consider "good roleplaying". But I will accept it this time because I know that you do not have much experience.

That said, if any of you looked at the map, I can say just one thing: "One does not simply walks into Mosul". Aside from the fact that I a bit simplified the military map so it would be easier to read for the "untrained" eye, let's do it!

*** Mosul: 120828BRAVOMAR17

And so the hot, arid wind of the desert was going to crash against a city in the Nineveh province. Mosul, an ancient city and once home to mighty Islamic warlords, besieged countless times by different foes, was today again going to become a stumbling block for another horde, not less hellish than the mongols who came there before and besieged it with it's mighty machines of war. Today, countless hordes of technical trucks crewed by bearded men dressed in black as a symbol of their hate and love for death, destruction and everything unholy were yet again approaching the ancient urban community once housing one of most prestige universities in the middle east.

They were not going to enter.

Against them stood an army like none they faced before - an army of the Arab nation, firmly accepting Arabs of all religions and creeds, wishing for nothing else than Greater Syria united by common culture and language. That, of course, put them constantly at odds with various "theocratic" groups like Council for JIhad and Revolution - although never on scale it did with Jaysh al - Islam. Yet at the same time, the mighty warriors of Khalid Tlass and Salah ad - Din ibn Yassir were experienced fighters, who first fought against Americans and later with them when the Shiite militias in the south begun causing trouble. After all, end goal of both of those men was not a theocratic state, but a peaceful Iraq where every faith and creed could prosper, rather than just senseless slaughter repeating itself again and again. Salah ad - Din already fought against jihadists in multiple wars as a volunteers, and now was going to put the accumulated knowledge to a proper use. Alongside them stood the mighty Nifonese warriors who already smelled fire all over Furukuran sea and faced steel on the plains of Manjuguo, an experience extremely important in it's relation to fighting on plain, open areas like the Nineveh plains were.

Salah ad - Din ibn Yassir was not a person who certainly could be categorized as being "afraid" by the coming horde of thugs and mercenaries. When one looked at this gracious commander of the Iraqi Arab nationalist resistance, he could with ease see a short gentleman in the medium age, with curly dark hair and pair of green eyes. It could be said that some aura of charisma emanated from this general who formerly fought as part of a local militia for the US forces, but later joined Khalid Tlass's force. Now he was at head of the second wave of Arab nationalism, ready to realize the Greater Syria project that failed in the 50s. Circumstances have changed, but the idea was alive again, no matter how much inheritors of British colonialism tried to distort it.

Sitting in the underground bunker with Gen. Taira Jurou and rest of their staff, both officers were planing what would be dubbed by the later generation to be "battle of Nineveh Plains" which begun the end of Jaysh Al - Islam's wave of terror so firmly growing in the Anbar province. The atmosphere was tight - even with Nifonese advantage, all officers present here were aware of the danger posed by the Jihadist groups, but were not going to let that affect them. On the contrary, today they were the ones to strike the terror in the hearts of their enemies.

"ELINT confirms it." Nifonese officer, Col. Oda Hachirou being chief of staff in Taira Jurou's "volunteer" brigade, spoke with a lowered voice. It was no secret that commercial radio communications used by the JAI were laughingly easy to listen to by specialized equipment brought by the Nifonese "Intercepted messages confirm that the Chechens stopped, with few reports mentioning technical problems and bad intelligence. At the same time it appears that remaining 3 brigades continue heading in our direction, as they have been seen several times by the Nifonese drone flights."

Hachirou smiled thinking of Ku-415 Sakura. This UCAV could with ease loiter at height of 13 000 meters, far above reach of any insurgent MANPADS, easily allowing for detection of large could of sand and dust generated by a horde of technical trucks the terrorists were driving. Their massed force was kept under constant surveillance by both Ku-415 and lower, tactical level Ku - 17 Tactical Recoanissance Strike Drone (which also could function as a kamikadze, carrying 20kg warhead), which combined with ELINT and the fact that the terrain in this region featured little to none cover & concealment, made the joint Arab Nationalist & Nifonese forces fully aware of localization of their enemies.

"And this creates a gap in their lines." Salah ad - Din's day just became great when he realized upcoming doom of their own brothers the Chechens have caused by their incompetence. The enormous gap resulting from that halt was increasing with each moment the two brigades headed for Mosul gotten north, the more open the gap became... Perfect for being exploited and subsequently leading to the annihilation of the incoming mujahedin force "We could toss element of Liwa al - Muthanna into it and have them come on their rear as we follow our standard plan we developed earlier."

"We are seeing only half of the picture" No matter of the good news, Oda was still concerned. Years of fighting against various rebels taught him that usually only half of the force they are dealing with are symmetrical "Salah ad Din - san 's men should be ready to quell any asymmetric operations in Mosul. Still, if we are to exploit this situation, we need to act quickly!"

"Then let us issue the combat order!" smiled Taira, before having the whole team head to work. The result of this was a grand plan with one strategic goal; total annihilation of Jaysh Al - Islam's terrorists.

COMBAT ORDER: Operation "Baked Clay": 120828BRAVOMAR17

Commanders of the Combined Operations room Nineveh, Gen. Salah ad Din ibn Yassir & Gen. Taira Jurou
Eyes Only: Copy 1 of 5

SITUATION:

I. After securing Anbar province as their stronghold, Jaysh al - Islam begun assault to the North with clear intent of seizing Mosul and areas currently under control of the allied forces. Their strategic goal is to capture more sunni - dominated areas in order to increase their own base of support. This can not be allowed to happen.

a) Enemy Forces:

I. According to aerial and electronic reconnaissance, Jaysh al - Islam's northern expedition is composed of four brigade sized tactical groups, equipped with light wheeled vehicles mostly of commercial origin; as well as limited amount of seized heavy weaponry. So far M113, M1A1 Abrams, T-72 and T-55 have been noted, however their amount is extremely limited. Each brigade numbers about 9 000 men.

II. Currently Jaysh Al - Islam is focusing forces into three major areas: First one, attacked by a single brigade sized unit (known as Osama Bin Laden Martyrs Brigade ) is the city of Tall - Afar, while the second, strongest force composed of two brigade tactical groups is heading for the city of Mosul on imminent collision course with allied forces. A third force has anticipated TAOR between the city of Al - Dadr to Shafinah, however stopped due to combination of factors.

III. Little is at this moment known about Assymetric forces that the enemy will most likely use. Local commanders should take full precaution in order to ensure OpSec of our forces at the rear.

b) Own and Friendly Forces:

I. Four brigades of Iraqi Awakening Front:
- Liwa al - Muthanna (Muthanna Brigade): 8892 - stationed in Mosul AO.
- Liwa al - Watan al - Akbar (Great Country Brigade): 8892 - stationed in Al - Dadr AO.
- Liwa al - Hiwari (Tawfiq al Hiwari Brigade): 8892 - stationed in Ash Sharqat AO.
- Assyrian Self Defense Brigade: 8892 - stationed in Tall Afar AO.

I. "Ronin" Volunteer Brigade.

III. Air support from elements of 12th Mixed Aviation Regiment in Turkey.

c) Attachments & Detachments: Standard units.

D) Terrain: Terrain on the Nineveh plain is flat and dominated by farmlands, possessing little cover & concealment to be exploited by both friendly and opposing forces. Northwest, 40 kilometers of the city of Tall Afar lays the Shingal mountain range, which may prove to be a key terrain in case of eventual defense. River Tigris may provide an obstacle limiting freedom of movement. Urban areas such as Mosul, Tall Afar or Al - Shirqat should be considered key terrain in such environment.

MISSION:

I. Halt the advance of the Army of Islam and prevent them from reaching Mosul.

II. Ensure annihilation of Osama Bin Laden Martyrs Brigade, Martyrs of Islam Brigade and Khalid Ibn Walid Brigade and prevent them from withdrawing south.

III. Inflict maximum causalities on the Chechen Volunteer Brigade to deny it capability of continuing combat operations.

REALISATION:

a) Tasks to attached subordinate units:

I. I order 1st Assault Infantry Battalion to conduct a holding manouevere against Khalid Ibn Walid Brigade while 2nd Assault Inf. Battalion will conduct flanking manouevere against the same force.

II. I order 3rd Assault Infantry Battalion to conduct a holding manouevere against Martyrs of Islam Brigade while 1st Motorized Inf. Battalion of Liwa al - Watan al - Akbarwill conduct flanking manouevere against the same force.

III. I order Assyrian Self - Defense Brigade to launch a dual envelopment operation against the Osama ibn Laden Martyrs Brigade and prevent it from entering Tall Afar.

IV. I order 2nd Motor. Inf. Battalion and 1st Mech. Inf. Battalion of - Liwa al - Watan al - Akbar to perform turning manouevere into the enemy's rear to establish position for subsequent encirclement and annihilation of hostile force.

V. I order Liwa al - Hiwari to be prepared to repeal the Chechen Volunteer force should they come to relief of their encircled brethren.

C) Tasks to the fire support and support units:

I. I order all fire support units to support by fire their upper echelons.

Logistics: Standard logistics.

COMMAND AND CONTROL:

a) Succession of Command: In case of my death Gen. Taira Jurou is to take command. Should he die, Gen. Saddam El - Hashem should take command.

b) Codenames:

- "Ronin" Volunteer Brigade: Leopard

- Liwa Al - Watan al - Akbar: Tiger

- Liwa al - Hiwari: Cheetah

- Liwa al - Muthanna: Lion

- Assyrian Self Defense Brigade: Caracal

c) Signals:

I. Combat Readiness: Dawn!

II. Begin the attack: Dawn rises!

II. Contact established: Dust falls!

IV. Requesting backup: Dark night!

VI. Surprise effect achieved:Tiger!

*** Nineveh Plain: 121130BRAVOMAR17:

"DAWN RISES, DAWN RISES, DAWN RISES!" sounded on every radio channel signifying that battle of Nineveh plain was about to begin. A great clash that will come down into annals of history signifying the end of the Army of Islam and beginning of a major reconquista by the Awakening Front, hoping that out of burning fires and ashes of the old system created by the former colonialist world order will arise the Greater Syria, untainted by the poison of Sykes - Picot agreement and Moscow's ideological colonialism launched under the very name of what they were claiming to be liberating their own people from.

Nevertheless, the very moment when the battle begun has arrived, and it was about to be opened by the Nifonese Artillery Battalion, fielding most modern Type 12 Shotokan MRLS, far outclassing BM-21 in range, accuracy and amount of munitions compatible with it. After the artillery battalion launched it's own tactical drones in order to get a fix on enemy's positions, the hell broke loose. Each 9 MRLS fired two salovs per 6 missiles, each with 70x2kg submunition with 100 fragments each. This cluster anti - personnel weapon would have been useless against the armored vehicles, but against infantry driving in open pickups it was going to perform exceptionally. Mass fire of 9 MRLS meant 420 submunitions with 42 000 bomblets each. After the two fire missions whole battery would begin packing up to move to a different location in order to avoid counter - fire, before returning fire again. With maximum range of such a missile of 70 kilometers, it meant that several hails of iron hail will fall on the terrorist's heads before they will be capable of engaging into any direct engagement. Once the terrorists will find themselves in range, within TAORs of their respective brigades BM-21 were going to join the fight while G-6 Rhino of the Iraqi forces would be ordered to target emissions identified by ELINT, crippling C4RISTA structure of the Islamist force.

At the same time, a new weapon of the Nifonese was about to be employed on the battlefield for the first time. Ku-17, inspired by German TARES, was a unmanned combat aerial vehicle, roughly 2 meters in length; carrying both ka - band millimeter wave radar, optronic unit and 20kg warhead. With 16 such systems employed and each of the capable of controlling 16 UCAVs, a major hail of precision fire was going to be used to, upon identification, strike MANPADS and artillery, as well as HVTs such as terrorist leadership.

Being outgunned by the artillery salvo was merely the first problem of the terrorist force, as the grand ground force offensive was just about to come. As mentioned in the COMORD, 1st and 3rd Nifonese Assault Infantry Battalions would perform a holding manouevere against the tip of the coming JAI forces, each battalion attempting a movement to contact, or rather, approach march in order to gain contact with so hated foe and finally get rid of him. Each of them consisted of a true combined arms force, where armored gun systems fielding 125mm/L50 guns were directly integrated at platoon and company level with the infantry - carrying Type 52s and dual 120mm mortars, instantly lying suppression on enemy ATGMs or positions formed in an attempt to conduct a hasty defense against incoming counterattack. Areas with confirmed ATGM presence were subsequently going to be assaulted by infantry on foot in order to clear them for proceeding.

At the same time one Nifonese and one local battalions begun flanking manouevere against the two brigades, using similar tactics as their holding counterparts, only that in case of the locals brigade level 107mm MRLs and 120mm howitzers were the ones doing the fire support. But the real problem for the JAI forces appeared that when two Iraqi militia battalions, driving their pickups, passed through the ever widening gap in the enemy lines, begun executing it's own turning manouevere. Unlike US equivalent, goal of which was merely to force the enemy to advance in unwanted direction, this one was inspired by the Nifonese methodology and having sole goal; establishing position for encirclement. And so, the JAI would find itself between a hammer and the anvil Nifonese loved so much.

Every unit advanced with air support of Ki-78, a mighty Nifonese counter on A10, and brigade level helicopters the Nifonese brought with themselves. Ki - 78, being literally a flying tank that was both capable of CAS and acting as a forward air controller (FAC) would be tasked with knocking down the enemy armor and providing close air support, ripping the terrorists to shreds by it's mighty 30mm gattling gun - HEDP munitions fired from it cleaving through pickups and men like a knife through the butter, ATGMs raining at the poor - state JAI armor reducing it to zero.

Salah ad Din ibn Yassir worried not, while listening to the reports from the field of battle, on the contrary, quite enjoying them himself. Very soon the trap would close and end the jihadist foe once for all. Even if the Chechens attempted to move their volunteer force in order to provide relief, he still had units in Mosul, a single Nifonese battalion and one brigade acting as an operational reserve to support whichever direction he wanted to support.

And so... someone was about to learn that one does not simply walk into Mosul!

ORBAT: Refer to the combat order.

*** Skies above Iraq: 121130BRAVOMAR17:

Major Ito Sanzaemon, also being pilot 2nd rank was not happy, or at least not now. He was forced to be pulled away from his bride in their house on cold shores of Wajima, the most northern island of Nifon, and made instead fly senseless Combat Air Patrol (CAP) missions as of enforcing the Nifonese no - fly zone in Northern Iraq. The probem for Sanzaemon was that it had little sense for him to fly here where - at least at that given moment - there was no action, and most flights ended in just routine hours in the air before returning to base, where they at least could spend time with their fellow pilots. Although only to a degree - Sanzeamon was not interested in women of loose customs on one hand or organized religion on another. He was searching the truth with all his heart, having previously left Buddhism after finding many inconsistencies in this system of believes.

And just when he was about to complain again on boredom, several kilometers away on the AWACS that was the eyes and brains of the CAP five dots appeared, signifying incoming aircraft. At that point entire CAP has been woken up.

"Tengu actual this is Akagi actual," said the voice in the Sanzaemon's headsets "Five contacts bearing one nine zero range one zero five range one five zero angles seven zero zero zero continuing northwest, over!."

"Affirmative Akagi actual" when a danger sets in, man's mind becomes focused on one thing: survival. And so it did happen at that very point "Akagi commits, out."

After a quick turn, the entire key of four aircraft headed straight against the incoming terrorist Sukhois. Whatever they were, they had no right to be here, and were about to be shot down for violation of the no - fly zone. 50 kilometers away from their target, a voice came on the comms:

"Akagi actual bogey dope, over" Ito was making sure before he got a final approach into firing position. After brief confirmation with both their own radars and AWACS, there was time for ending this threat.

Each Kaizen fired a single SSJ-9 Kouzayawar missile at the incoming Su-17, ready to fire more should such need come. Defenseless, the old sukhois stood no chance, and were about to crash into the ground, or simply explode in the air.

ORBAT: 2x Combat Air patrol
2x4 A9S Kaizen
2x1 AWACS

*** Mosul: 121145BRAVOMAR17:

Although being prepared, nevertheless damage from the attacks was done. Initial wave of suicide bombings targeted mostly civilian administration buildings and infrastructure, sufficient enough to put the local population in the state of perpetual fear (mostly due to the fact that areas serving as bases for AF were simply too well protected). The sleeper cells would, however, not pose a larger problem, for as they were about to learn, using pistol and knives was good against civilians, but not against militants utilizing far heavier weaponry, especially having advantage in firepower resulting from bigger rounds.

As a result, the task of dealing with the sleeper cells was given to the Hunter Killer battalion of the brigade stationing in Mosul - each of the battalion's elements quickly converging upon the areas where the attacks took place and cutting it off, in order to eliminate the terrorist presence.

Losses:
- 18 soldiers from Hunter Killer battalion wounded / killed.
- 301 civilians dead or wounded as a result of the bombings.

Nineveh plains

The attack was botched, thousands of troops were dying and the air-support did not even stand a chance, smoke could be seen and the smell of flames in the air, and the smell of blood. Most resistance to the Nifonese and IAF forces would come from men armed with RPG-7s and small arms, while others were retreating in a chaotic mass of technicals and men running on foot only to be gunned down by enimies surrounding from the back, standing in the midst of the chaos was Mohammed Omar Abdullah commander of the operation, he was short obese man, dark tan skin and curly black hair, with a prominent Semitic nose, his accent was American however, using a satellite phone he tried desperately to get in contact with his handlers abroad but it was not working.

he ran before tripping into a ditch, his obesity did not help him in escaping, he began to worry, not wanting to be killed, but not wanting to be captured (his intel was compromising to his commanders) he sat their as he saw an explosion blood poured down and he noticed the severed head of his 2nd in command fell next to him, this freaked him out and shook him up more, the artillery bombardment had wiped out all the armored support. The jihadists assault in the desert finally began to die out, in only a short period of time.

He attempted again to use the Satellite phone to contact forces in Anbar and Fellujah to demand reinforcements, "Brothers, brothers, our operation is failing, the nationalists are defeating us, we are desperate for support Insha'Allah, we need more men on the Nineveh plains, we have lost half of our men, and are loosing more, the Nifonese and the Iraqi Awakening Force have cut off any escape and we cannot retreat, we wish for martyrdom, do not let us die in vain, by Allah even if we die, let our enemies also die!" the message was sent out to the Chechens who responded "sorry brothers, we need to conserve our men, we will have to flee to fight for the future, Allah be with you we shall see you in paradise surely."

a shell went off next to him putting out dust causing him to cough excessively he said in a raspy voice "Brothers, do not forget us, avenge us for Allah!" he began to lay back, flames engulfed him.

Anbar province

Mustafa Hassan was listening intently to the radio, he spoke "Brother, you have not been forsaken do not worry, we will avenge you." he banged his fist on the table and said "By Allah, I will do the same I did to Khalid Tlass that I did to his wife!" he hissed in anger, "For every Muslim brother killed, I will also kill ten thousand Assyrians who dared collaborate with those vipers in the IAF." he contacted the Knights of Islam artillery regiment and began to explain to them the situation, and told them that an intimidate artillery strike was needed on the Nineveh plains, the officers told him this was not possible since 350 kilometers is the distance from straight line Fallujah - Mosul Grad has 40km max
Howitzer about 50 km, an artillery strike would not work, he said "then we will get our revenge another way." only time would tell what this would be.

OOC: Because I can not sleep, a short post to conclude the Battle of Nineveh Plains.

**** Nineveh Plains: 122101BRAVOMAR17

Endless waste filled with smoking wrecks of what once used to be one of greatest hordes the terrorists assembled in this war steamed as far as the eye could go, illuminating the darkening sky with grim light of multiple fires. Blood moon begun to appear simply due to sole amount of explosions, like a sign of a coming apocalypse, dangerously hanging up on the sky. The great army rose against Nineveh, marching in it's pride thinking of nothing else than rape, murder and conquest was no more. It's countless soldiers now enjoyed desert as their grave, with soft tomb of sand being their final resting place, among burning husks of the tanks and twisted, molten metal, resting eternally as a reminder of a great battle.

Within 12 hours of combat operations 30 000 terrorists met their doom, although after the initial assault everything else was just sweeping remnants. They tried escape, but their route was cut, and merciless pounding of the Nifonese artillery and air force paved way for the incoming conventional assault. Contrary to their opponents, Awakening Front lost only 82 men and few technical trucks hit by RPGs, which had little effect on heavier Type 52s Nifonese drove in. And when the rats of the desert stood no chance and soon begun their chaotic retreat across the plains, two battalions came and cut off their retreat, leading to uttermost slaughter of the demoralized enemy.

The battle would pass down to the legends of the local population and kill any morale that JAI could have had before. Unluckily Chechen force could not be destroyed, but that would not be of a concern now.

And when the sun was about to fall behind the horizon for good, Gen. Salah ad - Din ibn Yassir stoop up on the top of a burning jihadi tank, and rose his mighty saber - holding hand into the air. Picture was instantly taken and posted on multiple social media account, with #OneDoesNotSimplyWalkIntoMosul hashtag being attached in order to generate support.

The balance of power in Iraq was about to come to end. But so far... it was time to rest before taking Anbar.

Losses:
- 80 local soldiers killed or wounded in action
- 2 Nifonese soldiers wounded in action
- 9 technical trucks destroyed.

**** Mosul: 131001BRAVOMAR17

Those who understood the art of war knew that winning over the enemy physically was only lowest level of proficiency. To truly defeat your foe, you needed to have cunningness and understand him better than he understands himself. This is exactly what Gen. Amakusa Motonabe had in his plans.

Amakusa Motonabe has been born in a poor district of Kiyosu, subsequently going through his primary school and becoming first soldier in Imperial Nifonese Army, then officer in a local tank company. After faming himself to his superior by driving his tanks through a wall surrounding his unit to reach the designated exercise area, his colonel introduced him first to army intelligence, then to Gunpeitai, where he subsequently took rest. Now officially posing as a diplomat in Nifonese embassy in Turkey, this man was gathering more and more power over local Nifonese structures. Bold, courageous and ambitious, he dreamed of nothing else than becoming next Kojiro... but lacked resources to do so. This could be his chance, and had he wasted it, he could as well forget about getting noble title and position in the government.

For that he however needed allies... and the mighty general actually had plans to get one.

Enter Ahmed Naifeh, currently a young, 25 years old man recruited by Gunpeitai to work as a courier. Coming from a poor family in Baghdad district, Ahmed was recruited as a youngster in exchange of money to help his sister, who just as himself was an orphan. Yet this very man dared to turn his back on Gunpeitai's help, and it was visible for him that radical islam was getting a hold over person which the Nifonese offered education in Riysa and a good job. Thinking that Gunpeitai does not see what he writes on his computer because of him using a simple proxy, said person constantly cursed "Kuffar al - Nifar" on various radical forums, but retained working for them due to the fact that this was his sole source of income.

He was going to be a perfect agent that would never return back home.

At morning the same day, he was asked by his Nifonese employers to deliver a huge box of gold - at least 800 kilograms by the sole weight of it - by van alongside with an encrypted letter content of which he knew to a parking in the city of An-Nasr wa as - Salam and wait for a contact (that was never meant to come) there. At the same time Jaysh Al - Islam was going to receive an anonymous call informing them of location of the delivery and the fact that a Nifonese spy would be there, including his name, description and registry number of the van he drove.

Should they come to arrest him, the "spy" would - due to his recently acquired ideological preferences - quickly decrypt the message for them.

Code: Select all: Dear Akhmadov - san; I am greatly thankful for the service you done to me and my country today, and I have to say, it has been an honor of doing business with you. For halting the brigade and withdrawing rather than supporting your brothers, just as we agreed earlier, I offer you this gold. You have now to fulfill your task with all haste and eliminate key people in Jaysh Al - Islam leadership, and in return, you would be allowed to have your own emirate composed of few cities, just as we agreed. Honor guide you, - "Aokitsune"

It was no secret to those who knew that "Blue Fox" was codename for Lt. Gen. Ito Katsuyori (whom the courier personally seen handing the letter to him and telling him that the contact was to deliver it to Irman Akhmadov), who was the agentural network chief for area of Iraq. The strange behaviour of the Chechen force, including halting the advance in most crucial moment and subsequent withdrawal rather than coming to relief, only testified of the story's supposed truth. The Chechens however, knowing that they are innocent, would most likely not let themselves be arrested so easily.

History was about to record how much infighting would Gen. Amakusa's ruse would succeed in setting Irman Akhmadov and his Chechens against the rest of the jihadist forces, but one thing was sure - there was internal strife going to happen in JAI soon...

by **Bashriyya** » Mon Mar 13, 2017 2:49 pm

As Ahmed Naifeh was traveling to Mustafa Hassan's headquarters in his van to Fallujah to deliver a letter alongside a huge box of gold, the Jaysh Al-Islam leader Mustafa Al-Hassan had been informed of his arrival. As Ahmed drove to Fallujah his van was stopped by masked armed militants, and he would be taken inside a building, he was hooded so he could not see anything and his hands were zip-tied behind his back, he was taken to Mustafa Hassan's office.

Mustafa Hassan walked in "We know you are a Nifonese spy, we were informed you were coming."

Mustafa Hassan quickly opened the letter in a frenzy, he was a micromanaging busy body and control freak, he smiled with an evil grin, and looked at the letter he said "It's encrypted what the hell does it say?", Hassan's men grabbed Ahmed and took him to the interrogation room, the hood was taken off a bright light in a dark room was present.

Mustafa Hassan walked in and spoke "Your a young man they say you and your sister were poor?" he said "Brother why are you working for the Nifonese, do you know the price of spying, collaboration with the kuffar and treason?"

he took out a wood burner tool and plugged it into an outlet, he said "I do not want to do this, if you are a fellow Muslim it would pain me, I just wish to know the truth, I want you to translate the encrypted letter, I wish to know what it says."

Mustafa then said "I can give your hand small but painful burns, I can even put this in your eye or on your tongue, maybe on your balls? You see the price of spying is great, the price of collaborating with the enemy is great. I do not want to do this to you, I have to say the gold you were delivering will be put to good use in helping us economically, I would hate to hurt the man who delivered it to us. "

Hatay-Bashriyyan Border
The assault by the Bashriyyan-backed terrorist really was a foolish mistake. The weather was harsh, but the guards with their night-vision goggles spotted the trucks long before they were in range of the base. After a brief correspondence with base command, 4 M1A1 Abrahms tanks drove out of their garages and headed towards the hostile truck. Once the tanks emerged, the Bashriyyans had struck two guard towers, four parked jeeps, and a barracks (at the time only holding a few custodians). The base immediately rallied all men to battle stations. Soldiers rushed throughout the base, manning artillery batteries, machine guns in the underground bunkers in the mountainous border. The tanks however, led the response. The Bashriyyan jeep had just turned around when the tanks came in range. The tanks fired a salvo, each shell getting a direct hit and blowing the jeep to smithereens. The tanks had crossed the border, but only for 20 minutes, quickly returning to Hatayan territory. The base remained in battle stations for 24 hours. The black flag was taken down after just a few minutes of it standing.

I agree this is becoming an increasing problem, but this new wave of terrorists is not like before, these are not like the Mazeed Mansour Brigades, they are rational violent non-state actors, almost a Sunni Hezbollah, a rational Al-Qaeda. We have not seen a threat like this in a long time, the group has done small car bombings and tends to operate in cells, and I fear the defense ministry knows something it is not telling us.

I will do everything in my power to consult you, we have estimated a large training camp that is heavily guarded being the source of the many attacks, we cannot identify the group at this time, which is why we suspect involvement sadly from elements of the Intelligence agencies.

Foreign Minister,
Mohammed Suleiman

Bashriyya

That day Mohammed Suleiman would be walking home, he would get to his car open it up and drive to his house, he would be machine gunned down by a masked assailant carrying a 9mm sub-machine gun riding on a motorcycle. The assassination was highly suspicious with many in the opposition party blaming a deep state and Mohammed Nashid. This began to surprise many who began to blame Nashid for rumored secret jihadists training camps in the desert for the mysterious Al-Ithaad Al-Islamiya who Nashid claimed "was not active in Bashriyya", Al-Ithaad Al-Islam became infamous in Iraq after it merged with Jaysh Al-Islam in Anbar, Jaysh Al-Islam made a name for itself after forming an armed insurrection against three Shiite Governments in the region.

The Bashriyyan media quickly the murder of the foreign minister on Jaysh al-Islam and also blamed Jaysh al-Islam for the attacks on Hatay's border, a suspicious video by masked men claiming allegiance to Jaysh Al-Islam taking credit for the attacks.

Bashriyyan Media network

In a bizarre turn of events following Jaysh Al-Islam's failure in Mosul, Al Ittihad Al Islamiya in Iraq announced that it is breaking its alliance with Jaysh al-Islam, accusing the leaders of engaging in corruption, such as drug trafficking and stealing funds for personal use. The leader of Al Ittihad Al Islamiya in Iraq Mohammed Al-Tayfour(aka Abu Bittar) stated "We do not want them to be our enemy, but they are too unprincipled to be apart of, our organization " this has not come as a surprise rumors of corruption have been with Jaysh Al-Islam for a while, however they have risen since the failure at Mosul.

Jaysh Al-Islam has had problems with fighters leaving to join either Al-Ittihad Al-Islamiya or the Military Council for Jihad and Revolution, the group's figurehead Mustafa Hassan had this to say "We will continue to resist the Iraqi Government, Insha'Allah we will win, we do not need our brothers to be apart of our group, we are not as over-zealous as ISIS was before they fell, and we will successfully establish an Islamic state properly, our brothers in the Knights of Islam remain loyal to us and things are going quite well, yes quite well."

This has come as a shock to many, meaning that Jaysh Al-Islam is beginning to lose backing from other jihadist groups, yet only time will tell what the fate of Jaysh al-Islam will be.

One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mosul
Iraq Awakening Front fends off an attack by Jaysh Al - Islam with ease.
Français|日本語|한국어|English
Newsroom Tonight| Kirishinan Broadcasting Corporation

News Intro (ends at 20 seconds)

Bonsoir et Konbanwa, welcome back to Newsroom Tonight on the KBC Network, I'm Sugiyama Shinya in Imgeum. Our first story comes from Iraq where earlier today Jaysh Al-Islam launched an offensive on Mosul in an attempt to maintain influence and security in their held Anbar province. Mosul lies in control of the Nifon backed Iraqi Awakening Front, a group that seeks the liberation of the entire Greater Syria Area and the establishment of a free, independent Syrian Arab state governed by a policy of federalism to reflect and respect diversity in the region. Although Jaysh Al-Islam's goal was Mosul, they denied entry by the IAF and Nifonese on the plains of Nineveh. Our middle east correspondent, Bin Jong-Kwan is in Tel al-Riyah, Riysa with more. Jong-Kwan?

JongKwan: With the Anbar Province clearly being under the control of Jaysh Al-Islam, the terrorist organization made a move on Mosul in an attempt to show strength, expose IAF as well as Nifonese weakness, and capture Sunni-dominated areas to increase their potential recruitment and support pool. On the other hand, the confrontation was an opportunity for the Iraqi Awakening Front and their Nifonese allies to show off their capabilities. If attempting to strike fear into Jaysh Al-Islam and other opposition factions were the goals, then the IAF were successful.

Operation Baked Clay as it's being called lasted for approximately 12 hours and was a complete and utter rout for Jaysh Al-Islam. According to sources, due to either logistical issues or plain incompetence by Jaysh Al-Islam, a noticeable gap exploited by the Iraqi Awakening Front and Nifonese forces helped to entrap Jaysh Al-Islam. Furthermore, air support meant to aid the terrorist have reportedly failed to arrive. As a result, the terrorists were decimated in the face of the superior IAF/Nifonese forces. According to an Iraqi Awakening Front spokesperson, Jaysh Al-Islam suffered approximately 30,000 casualties as opposed to 80 local IAF soldiers killed or wounded and 2 Nifonese wounded. While many of Jaysh Al-Islam's casualties occurred towards the beginning of the battle, a good amount came as a result of the chaotic fleeing of the terrorist group which was intercepted. As one might expect the morale of JAI has been shattered and the possibility of another massive attack let alone recovery, is very unlikely.

On the other hand, the morale of the IAF and Nifonese are through the roof. From merely a defensive position, the side had managed to destroy the attacking force and the hashtag #OneDoesNotSimplyWalkIntoMosul is already trending. With this difference in success and in morale, it is likely that a JAI support base in the Sunni north is nothing else but a dream. With Jaysh Al-Islam on the ropes, the focus remains on the Iraqi Awakening Front and the Nifonese as to what will their next act be. This has been Bin Jong-Kwan from Tel al-Riyah, Riysa. Back to you Shinya-san

Shinya:Thank You. With Jaysh Al-Islam currently weaked it remains to be seen as to what is next. Will Jaysh Al-Islam continued to be eliminated or will attention be turned towards the south and the Arab Liberation Front. Now on to our next story...

The Knight's of Islam released a new video about recent events

The spokesman was a man from the Levant and joined the organization early on during the 2003 invasion as a volunteer to help Sunni Militias and the infamous Fedayeen Saddam. He spoke with passion and fire in his speech he had true conviction in what he said.
In the name of Allah the Most Gracious and Most Merciful, our defeat in Nineveh and Mosul is nothing in comparison to the fire that the fires of hellfire that have burned their dead while our dead rest in the Kingdom of Paradise with gardens and rivers of milk and honey. We will fight until the day of judgement even if our force is one man. We will smash their heads with rocks, burn their crops, and poison them. This army of polytheistic nationalists is nothing more than an army of uncircumcised ideological prostitutes who will fight for any cause other than Allah's. We congradulate the advances made against the infidel nation of Hatay they will surely suffer a defeat that will only end with repentance. The Mujahideen Shura Council and the Islamic Emirate of Baghdad & Anbar have been illuminated with light and we will shake the thrones of Baghdad.

Baghdad 1302 hours
In the city of Baghdad the Islamist forces were feared by many locals especially Shiites as the self-proclaimed Emirate bordered the city up to the airport. The emirate had many cells in the city who were ready to act within a moments notice, today was the day. Several men armed with knives entered a Shiite Mosque and began stabbing worshipers and yelling praises to God, and making historical references to the death of Omar the second Caliph of Islam and claiming it was revenge. The attack was orchestrated by a Baath commander who worked in Saddam's propaganda ministry and was an architect in the Faith Campaign with Izzat Ibrahim Al-Douri. The attack hoped to provoke Shiites and show Iraq that the Emirate was serious and ready for a long bloody war. The group's only statement on the matter was Rain on us with bombs and bullets we will rain on you with fury and sharp blades thirsty for blood, we will purify the land of Iraq for the God fearing only. The attackers are still at large and are presumed to have fled to IEAB territory.

Checking the current situation in Iraq is more likely a training exercise for the Jordanian Armed Forces, the Jaysh al-Arabiyya, to deal with the festering anarchy that subsided in the area. How would Allah be so surprised about the conditions of his peoples and his faithful as infidels are sprouting all over the land, forgetting the teachings of Muhammad, alayhi as-salām, to love their nations! This should be a menacing reminder that forgetting the commands of Allah will only make peoples subjected under the influence of the jinn, under the disguise of other Islamic sects meant to divide the nation apart. Jordan was the true witness of the prosperity it gained during the monarchy of Iraq, and was destroyed by socialists in the 1950s. Nevertheless, the people of Iraq still need to choose their rulers, and Jordan, inshallah, will redirect its nationhood by destroying any rooting infidels.

By the time that Al-Ittihad are enjoying their stay near the borders between Syria and their side of Iraq at Al-Anbar, the Jordanian pilots would never forget the revenge they are ought to deliver to the enemy in the name of Muhammad, alayhi as-salām, and to Allah! At around 0400 hours, the assets of the 2nd Squadron from the As Shaheed Muwaffaq al Salti Air Base will be rebasing to H4 as part of the manuevers of the Operation that the King will lead himself. The crew would then assemble in their hangars, and the swift winds that breeze through the night would remind the cold blood that the Shiite-Baathist socialist dogs would then feel once the Jordanian firepower gets to touch them as Divine Punishment. This was part of the Operation Martyr Moaz, so named in memory the executed Jordanian humanitarian worker in Iraq that enraged the King Abdullah II. With such furor, the Jordanian air force crewmen themselves spray-painted messages to their missiles and bombs as a decorative reminder of their earthly struggle to commit to their divinely act for Allah, alayhi as-salam.

"Allah, Al-Waṭan, Al-Malik"

OFFICIAL DIPLOMATIC COMMUNIQUE TELEGRAPH CABLE OF THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN: DECLARATION OF INTENT

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficial and Merciful, The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Bism'Alllah, Wal'akthar Fayidat Walrrahim, Walmamlakat Al'Urdunniat Al-Hashmy)

Encryption: Public
Subject: Destruction of Infidels
Addressee: Public

Dear infidels and savages,

As we all know, the threat posed by multiple groups against the sovereignty of Iraq has been imminent threat against our people, the Kingdom of Jordan, and we no longer cannot turn a blind eye, especially of our kin had suffered and died under the hands of these dogs who do not have the honor, nor the power over life and death! It is only through Allah alayhi as-salām that the divine punishment shall be coming from, and not from these traitorous scums of the desert, lingering in their spoils, destroying more lives and families! This will no longer stand firm, as we, the Hashemite Kingdom, will utterly destroy you all, until we run out of bullets and oil, until our hands grew bloody hammering you down, until our children's children die on our midst ripping you apart! We shall meet you in the battlefield, but it will be too late for you to see us even, as we will be burning your ground and turn your ashes into gunpowder of our gunnery, for Allah alayhi as-salām had said "soon we shall cast terror upon infidels!" He furthered that we, the Prophet Muhammad's descendants, alayhi as-salām, "shall expose you to the Fire."

Let this be a note in your minds, if you ever have one, that the nation of Iraq shall stand against you, as we help the Iraqi people get their government and their institutions returned peacefully. It is our holy task for Allah alayhi as-salām and we will commit to it until we die!

Cordially yours,

- His Majesty, Abdullah at-tani ibn Al-Ḥusayn, the King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

For Allah is the Greatest, As He Swing our Swords Towards Victory and Conquer the Enemy!

Allah-u-Abha (God is the Most Glorious!)
Allah-u-Akbar! (God is the Greatest!)

OOC: For effect, listen to this combined with this for the first part
Kamijama, High Command
The High Command compound was guard all around by troops and armored vehicles, once inside, numerous checkpoints were passed till the central room was reached. At least 75 people, answering phones, using computers, pointing at maps, discussing important matters were in the room. Two Hatayan flags flanked a massive map of the Middle East, with numerous symbols, alterable by computer, on one wall, a big portrait of Ali Golofad hung. A Squadron of of B-52 Lancer bombers had just been dispatched to Anbar to destroy a terrorist complex. The map disappeared to show a live feed, all eyes turned to it and excepting the constant phone ringings and beeping, there was silence. They saw the planes soar high in the sky, just beyond the range of jihadist anti-air equipment. The radio voice of the leader of squadron cracked over the radio.
"We're 13 Kilometers from target and closing, over."
The people in the room chattered for a second and one man with a phone wearing a Corporal's army uniform turned to the Air Marshal Nafar, in blue uniform.
"Should you fire at will?" Nafar nodded and spoke.
"You may fire when ready."
"Copy that, over and out." The planes turned to the right, the men and women in the room watched as the bomb bays opened and bombs dropped down, down, down, seeing feint explosions beyond the clouds. They people in the room let out a cheer, and one moved to call the Presidential Palace.
Hatayan-Bashriyyan Border
The sometimes mountainous border with Bashriyya was heavily fortified, numerous bases with lots of troops and equipment lined the border, and the mountains were turned into a fortress almost resembling the Maginot Line, with observation posts, small rail lines inside the mountain, Anti-Aircraft, communication stations, slits in the mountain for rifles and machine guns, and artillery. In a hypothetical war with Bashriyya, this defensive line would have to be surpassed, with the only other way through military bases. The jihadist groups would definitely make this a target. A group of jihadist trucks with DShKs attached drove towards the mountains, the men carried Kalashnikovs, but also RPGs, dragged by the truck was a M-63 Plamen missile system. This weapon was used by Mazeed Mansour Brigades in Mawani, though this jihadis organization was a different group connected to IAI. From a small observation post hidden by rocks, a Hatayan soldier spotted the group. He ran to a radio, he spoke into.
"This is Corporal Fahid at Observation Post 02, Sector 04, I'm spotting eight trucks with heavy weaponry. One of which flies a flag of jihadist nature. Over." The radio buzzed and the response came.
"Hold your post, update us, we are addressing the situation, over."
A Platoon of 40 men rushed to positions from a thin opening in the mountain they set up a 50 cal. Browning machine gun. They also lowered AK-74s onto the rocks to open fire. The trucks came closer to the mountain, they stopped and got out. Position their missile system. They began to inch it forward. The Browings at that post and many others opened fire. The jihadists returned fire. The shooting went on for a few minutes, before a violent noise came from the enemy. At least 12 rockets soared into the air and struck the mountains, they shook and rubble fell, inside, bits of rocks fell. From the mountains one rocket slammed into the M-63, destroying it. The firefight continued until most of the jihadists were dead. The border defenses proved themselves.

Bashriyya-Desert-Post Hatayan-attack

Dead bodies were all over the ground, the jihadist flag began to burn, and fuel from the vehicles was exploding, crawling away was one Jihadist who lost both of his legs and his right eye, he was moving himself by grasping the earth with his hands, the Hatayans had been fooled, not all the Jihadists were dead one managed to survive that day. His name was Abdullah Ibn Baraq Al-Maliki and he would eventually be picked up by Bashriyyan authorities, in reality he was coming from a raid of secret AIAI men who had been told by Bashriyyan intelligence to attack the Hatayan border a 2nd time, in reality they were being scapegoated and they would get no credit, the credit was being false flagged on another Jihadist group the Jaysh al-Islam, the attacks put the AIAI leadership at an untrustworthy stance toward Bashriyyan intelligence who more often then not used their men as cannon fodder on the Hatayan border without approval , all so Nashid could trick the Hatayans into intervening in Iraq.

OOC: I will wait for AIAI to rp his leaders anger over Nashid's decision, I imagine they would visit Nashid in his office to express displeasure.

H4 Air Base, Rweished
Mafraq Governorate
Jordan

While the three GM 400 radar stations of the H4 AB were able to show the clear presence of unidentified group of aircraft with no bearing at the radar monitors, this unseemly foreign presence is an alert against the Operation Martyr Moaz that will take place. "Sir, we have successfully identified the designation and origin of the unmarked aircraft group. It seems the Hatayans are making a run against the Shiite rebels, but we are uncertain what they really did. There were reports of explosions that came up afterwards." This cannot be taken lightly by the Royal Jordanian Air Force, knowing it is by far the most capable of Arab countries in the Middle East to solve the Iraqi terror. "Give them the warmest welcome as the same as this desert." The squad commander then replied.

Taxiing the F-16A/B Block 15 ADF suited for the interception, Armed with IFF interrogators and the AIM-120 AAMs, this will lead an example to the Hatayans the true nature of Jordan in its finest. As the 2nd Squadron was able to launch to the skies, the needed radio commands went through and can be heard at the halls of the Command chamber.

"SIF verification complete. Squadron of B1-B from Hatayan air force. Callsign is Harry. No response to our hails. Location, Golf 3, Juliet 7, heading 183. Angels four-eight. Speed 700 knots, continuing East."
"Any word from Mafraq, have we heard of them?"
"No response from any air squadrons, including the GSOC."
"Keep calling the Base Commander on emergency line until we get through."
"Interceptors inbound for rendezvous. Ibrahim 01 from Hotel 4 and Ishmael 07 from Hotel 5. Estimated intercept, Ibrahim 01 0905, next Ishmael 07 0911"
"Alef 1, this is Ibrahim 01, now maintaining Angel four-zero."
"Ibrahim 01, this is Alef 1, you are now under my control. Steer six-seven and maintain present Angel."
"Affirmative."

After a few minutes since the interceptors left, the voice command then comes up with "Harry is still heading east, no response to our hails." "Alef 1, this is Base Command. Provide final hail and prepare for intercept on tail aspect." "Affirmative, sir." Upon receiving command and the F-16s now getting close to the B1 squadron right on their tail, there is only one message given:

" !إنتباه! مجال محظور! إرجاع فورا "
